When I have identified the pairs to trade, the principle is to only trade in the direction of a Trend Bias and using a combination of indicators to generate Weighted Trade Signals in the direction of the Trend Bias and Weighted Reversal signals if in the opposite direction of the Trend Bias.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- This dashboard has been set-up on a 27" Monitor with a 2K resolution (2560 x 1440).
- There are a 38 charts and your MT4 may slow down. I have multiple trading PC's and use a dedicated PC for this dashboard (i5, 2.21Ghz, 8GB Ram, Win 10 64-bit) with no performance issues
You can take the concept behind this dashboard, the templates and indicates provided to develop and use for your own style of trading.
Please Note: I do not provide any advice on opening or closing positions or how and when to trade using this dashboard or any other indicator signals.

How to Set-up your currency strength dashboard
Please note you will need to know how to open charts, resize them, create profiles and load templates to charts.
- Copy the indicators and templates to your MT4 folders
- Download the TDesk indicators and copy to the correct MT4 folders
- There are 37 visible charts and 1 minimized chart
- I have included a blank template (#Empty One.tpl) which I suggest you save as your default template, when you open the 38 charts they will all be blank and ready for the templates to be loaded
- Open the charts sizing and positioning as per the screenshot
- For the first 4 rows I open the charts with a currency pair for that currency
- For the bottom row I use XAUUSD
- You should have 38 charts open 1 one chart to be minimized for the TDesk Slope.tpl
- Load each template in the appropriate chart, they will load without the borders and captions hidden, this will allow you to resize charts if required
- When all templates are loaded and you are happy with the size and position of the charts you can remove the borders and captions as follows:
- Open the indicator list for each chart
- Edit indicator: ModChartWindow
- HideCaption = True
- HideBorder = True
- The 16 CSS xxx templates when load may show the currency slope strength overlapped or blurred, if this happens you have to delete all objects in that chart
- Save your charts as a profile

Foot Note
I enjoy programming and creating dashboards, I hope you find them useful and remember I will not offer any advice on opening and closing positions or how to use indicators I have not written myself, there is plenty of information on each indicator from traders who are have years more experience than me.
